The problem, as has been shown by the 500 odd page document, is that very few people could truly have understood what staying in OR leaving meant for our future.
What if the voting paper had said ‘Do you want an EU government to take all power and control over this country?’ How would you have voted?
What if in 20 years time, that voting paper said ‘Do you want the World government to take all power and control over Europe?’. How would you vote.
Flippin’ heck, we can’t always trust those running local councils to do the right thing, never mind the world!
I’m sure you did very well out of it Mike. 😉

Well it seems David Icke can still fill very large venues. Actually most of what he says comes from years of research and is quite factual.
The ‘lizard’ thing is either to throw people off the scent, so he can be left alone and written off as a ‘nutter’ or what you say is correct.
The thing is, the ‘powers that be’ will always exist. It’s just a question as to how good or bad they are.

Has anyone actually read the draft agreement yet?

If this gets approved we will still have to answer to those who run the EU on most matters. Brexit, I don’t think so.

Sadly I suspect you may be correct. The public are being fed very little detail on what is being negotiated.
In a more transparent world it
would make sense to gauge public opinion as they go about this process. Power is gradually being moved further and further away from the majority. As it does so, less of us will be able to do anything about it.
Eventually the world will be held to ransom by a buffoon (if we aren’t already there yet?)

Like many situations in life, sometimes you can’t see how bad things really are until you leave that situation, then look back in.
We voted to join a common market, not to join an European State (and the control which came with it). Did we ever get a vote to push control even further away from the U.K’s public?
This raises another interesting question. Should then, leaving the ‘EU’ mean we give up the mutual benefits of joining the ‘common market’? (seeing as we DID vote for that years ago).

Just to add another swerve ball to this argument. I know of someone who was told they could no longer stay on a mooring because it wasn’t officially residential.
The council ended up offering council accommodation (which was accepted) on the basis that ‘living on a boat’ was assessed as being ‘homeless’ status. So if ‘living on a boat’ is not treated as occupying a property, then maybe that’s why council tax doesn’t apply. I’m not sure if all councils would think the same way though.
Don’t forget that live aboard boaters miss out on some benefits which come with being on the council register, like jury service. 😉

Exactly, and before people accuse others of ‘playing the game’ it might be wise to judge ourselves before pointing fingers.
For example, how many of us have off shore bank accounts or have used ‘creative accounting’ to pay less tax?
I suppose it all comes back to the balance between what you put in and what you take out again. Most of the important stuff had nothing to do with money, it’s to do with how we spend our time with others.
